The draft road Orders define the line of the proposed route from Crubenmore to Kincraig with the draft Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) defining the extent of the land required to deliver the project. Representations in relation to the draft Orders, including objections, can be made in writing to Transport Scotland by 16 October 2018.

Community engagement

Community engagement is a priority with all of our projects. Working with those affected by the A9 dualling programme is at the heart of our planning and we regularly run engagement events to consult local communities, road users, businesses and individuals as our plans are progressed.

You can find details of engagement events and exhibition material to download below:

Public exhibitions

Environmental Statement and Draft Orders – October 2018

Details of the Environmental Statement and Draft Orders for the project will be displayed at the exhibitions and representatives from Transport Scotland and our consultants CFJV (CH2M Fairhurst Joint Venture) will be available to answer questions relating to the statutory processes.

Public drop-in sessions – April 2018

Public drop-in sessions are being held in Kingussie and Newtonmore to provide local communities and road users with an update on the design development since the preferred route exhibitions in March 2017.

Visitors will have the opportunity to view and comment on the design development of the preferred route option, including updates on junctions, side roads, accesses and non-motorised user routes. The drop-ins will also provide information on the latest plans for a bridge over the River Spey.

Designing the route

The project has a number of considerations in the ongoing design process:

this section is low lying, passing the towns of Newtonmore and Kingussie, which will require junction provision. It is constrained by the highly sensitive Insh Marshes, and River Spey and its floodplain

widening of the 140m, 7-span structure over the River Spey and general road widening north of the structure will present environmental and construction challenges
